![]() But in general, using 32-bit plug-ins in an 64-bit environment can be problematic and cause various problems.Īs of now, you have various options to choose from to deal with this situation: Live organisation and user interface is different, i would consider it a lot more a composition and sound design tool i find the user interface a lot more direct (for exemple, MIDI controller mapping), less nested menus, more straight in the face interaction but of course, i am a composer if i had to mix/master a complex recording, i would use a more traditional DAW.Īctually i do not know (yet) if there is something that can be done with Live that cannot be done with Cubase or Logic (or the contrary), with the notable exception of the Session view stuff it is just that way Live present and organise things is very different from the others.Although 64-bit operating systems and hosts are the norm for years, you might need to use older plug-ins for backward compatibility or a particular VST Instrument which has been discontinued.ģ2-bit versions of Cubase 4 to Cubase 8.5 and Nuendo 4 to Nuendo 7 came with a VST Bridge meant to make the transition to 64-bit systems easier. The result is that they are very flexible, support composition and professional recording, mixing and mastering, but at the cost of a significant complexity. Well, my impression is that is something deeply different from Cubase and Logic most DAWs adopt the paradigm of the virtual studio, offering a virtual structure that match closely (even graphically) real studio equipement. Studio One definitely sounded brighter and more "in your face" I thought.Īs it was discussed in another thread, i am in the same situation, and i am planning to do the same switch.īut in the meanwhile i started a different project, mixing composition with live performance, and i decided to give Ableton Live a try, thank also to the fact that there is a prosperous market for send hand Ableton Live licenses (so i got a good deal and i know i can resell the license for the same price). I have not tried to import any of my Cubase files into Logic or vice-versa so cannot attest to any differences like you did in your original post. I'd also love to have some of the u-he plugins. I'm still on Omnisphere 1 and Keyscape is calling my name. For $550 I can invest in some great VSTs. ![]() I agree that we can't be sure what Apple will do with Logic in the future, but at least they are not asking for money every time they add a new feature. ![]() I subscribed to macprovideo for 30 days and took both the Mainstage and the Logic courses and was up to speed in no time. Not long after I got my MBP, and after grabbing Mainstage and starting to explore the Logic Instruments included with it (including Alchemy) I decided to give Logic Pro X a whirl. If I were to upgrade to version 9 now, it'll cost me $249 to upgrade Cubase itself and $299. I'm still running 7.5, but way back then I added The Grand 3, HALion Symphonic Orchestra, and the Absolute VST Collection (which gave me HALion Sonic - full version as opposed to SE, Padshop Pro - as opposed to just plain Padshop, and a few other perks). Zephonic, I can relate to your dilemma with Cubase. Just wanted to see whether the difference is as noticeable to others as it is me? And maybe some thoughts as to what could cause this discrepancy. But Cubase 6.5 is five years old, and I believe they introduced a new audio engine with Cubase 8. It is most noticeable on the clap, I think. Now here's the odd thing, when I played them back to back, I immediately noticed a difference in sound. I exported the song as a MIDI file which I opened in Cubase. So I saved the settings for Omnisphere as a multi, the Battery 4 kit was standard 808 multi without changes (except shortening the sustain/release on the clap), and I rendered the two sounds from StudioOne's internal instruments (Presence and Impact) to audio files. It let me get in the groove right away, and most things were pretty intuitive, so soon I was jamming and I liked what I had enough to wanna be able to open it in Cubase, too, just in case. There are a few things that were odd and a little annoying, but for the most part I'm really digging it. I have trials of Studio One3, Ableton Live 9, and current version of Reaper.Ĭoming from Cubase (with some background in Logic and ProTools), StudioOne is the most familiar and easiest to use, so I started making a beat to get a feel for it. Now it has started to get a little old, but rather than simply updating to Cubase 9, I decided to check out some other DAW's first. I've been on Cubase 6.5.5 for the last five years or so, refused to update.
